1) Oracle credentials: The name of the database instance, the port it is listening on, the system account password, and the Oracle server name. These variables need to be placed in the JDBC connection string URL in the Java code. The syntax of a JDBC URL for Oracle is:

jdbc:oracle:thin:system/@::

In practice, it might look like this:jdbc:oracle:thin:system/[email protected]:1525:apodevs

2) You will need to be running a JDK on the machine where you will be running this Java code. Any version will do.
